Neil deGrasse Tyson Claps Back at UFO Claims in The Age of Disclosure

Neil deGrasse Tyson vs. 'The Age of Disclosure': The UFO Debate Gets Heated

Alright, y’all, buckle up—Neil deGrasse Tyson is back at it again, and this time, he’s taking shots at the latest UFO documentary, The Age of Disclosure. If you’ve been keeping up with the UFO scene, you know this doc just premiered at South by Southwest and features some big-name government officials claiming that aliens are real and nations are secretly racing to reverse-engineer their tech. Sounds wild, right? Well, not everyone is buying it—especially not Neil.

So, what went down? Let’s break it all down, Jamie Cruz style.

🚀 The Age of Disclosure: The Documentary Stirring Up the UFO World

If you haven’t heard, The Age of Disclosure is the latest documentary to make UFO Twitter (and, let’s be real, the whole internet) go nuts. It’s packed with high-profile government insiders dropping bombshell claims about non-human craft, extraterrestrial tech, and a secret global competition to crack the code before other nations do.

One of the key figures in the doc is Jay Stratton, a former member of the U.S. government’s UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) Task Force. The guy straight-up says he’s seen non-human craft and even non-human beings. That’s a pretty big deal, right?

But here’s where things get interesting—Fox News played a clip of the documentary for Neil deGrasse Tyson, and let’s just say, he wasn’t impressed.

🤔 Neil deGrasse Tyson's Response: Classic Skeptic Energy

When Neil was shown the clip of Stratton making these claims, he hit back with classic Neil energy:

"Just because you don’t know what it is doesn’t mean it’s alien. It just means you don’t know what it is."

And he didn’t stop there. He went all in, saying that the people claiming they’ve seen alien craft and bodies should really just say:

"I don’t know what this is. I don’t know enough biology to assess what I’m looking at."

Oof. The man did NOT come to play.

Neil even took a jab at the fact that with all the high-tech cameras and telescopes we have (like the James Webb Space Telescope, which gives us crystal-clear images from billions of light-years away), the best "evidence" of aliens we’ve got is still grainy, monochrome blobs. And, I mean…he’s kinda got a point?

But here’s where things get messy.

🛸 Did Neil Misrepresent Jay Stratton's Words?

Here’s where the UFO community is calling foul. When Jay Stratton talked about “non-human intelligence,” he didn’t actually say “aliens.” But Neil deGrasse Tyson? He immediately made that jump.

That’s a crucial distinction. “Non-human intelligence” could mean a lot of things—advanced A.I., unknown biological life, interdimensional entities (yeah, we’re going there), or something else entirely. But Neil wasn’t having any of that. He flattened the argument down to “aliens or nothing,” which… well, isn’t exactly what Stratton said.

And to be fair, a lot of people in the UFO world do use “non-human intelligence” as a way to say “aliens” without saying “aliens.” But Stratton? He chose his words carefully. So, did Neil put words in his mouth?

🎤 The Internet Reacts: Team Neil vs. Team UFO

As expected, social media exploded over this.

On one side, you’ve got the skeptics, who are like:

“Neil is right. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show me the receipts or GTFO.”

And on the other side, you’ve got the UFO believers, who are like:

“Neil is doing what all mainstream scientists do—dismissing evidence before even looking at it. He’s part of the cover-up.”

There’s even a third group who are just straight-up tired of Neil’s whole vibe:

“Bro acts like he’s got a personal beef with aliens.”

🤷‍♂️ So… Who's Right?

At the end of the day, this debate comes down to what you consider proof. If you’re a hardcore skeptic like Neil, nothing short of an alien walking up and shaking hands with the president on live TV will convince you.

But if you’re someone who believes in connecting the dots—between military sightings, pilot testimonies, declassified documents, and whistleblower claims—then The Age of Disclosure might feel like another big puzzle piece sliding into place.

Here’s what we do know:

1️⃣ The U.S. government takes UAPs seriously. They’ve had task forces, hearings, and declassified reports acknowledging that something is in our skies.
2️⃣ Neil deGrasse Tyson is a firm skeptic. He won’t entertain anything that isn’t backed by hardcore, repeatable scientific data.
3️⃣ Jay Stratton’s words were carefully chosen. He never said “aliens.” He said “non-human intelligence.” That distinction matters.

🔮 The Big Question: Are We in the "Age of Disclosure" or Just More Noise?

The big question remains: Are we actually on the verge of a real alien disclosure, or is this just another round of speculation with no hard proof?

Neil deGrasse Tyson doesn’t seem to think we’re anywhere close. But if you listen to guys like Jay Stratton, David Grusch, and even some former Pentagon officials, they’re hinting that something big is coming.

For now, all we can do is keep watching the skies, keep questioning everything, and—if we do get some alien receipts one day—get ready for Neil to find a way to debunk that too.

What do you think? Is Neil deGrasse Tyson being too dismissive, or is he keeping things real?
